“With this stunning piece, Glover is joined on stage by a string orchestra, which brings his jaw-dropping tap dancing talents to classical music by composers like Vivaldi, Bach and Mendelssohn,” said Thomae-Morphew. “If you see nothing else in this year’s star-studded season, don’t miss this great talent. People will be talking about Savion Glover for years. His talent and energy is astounding.”
